Classifying algorithms for SIFT-MS technology and medical diagnosis

Abstract: Selected Ion Flow Tube -Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is an analytical technique for real-time quantification of trace gases in air or breath samples. SIFT-MS system thus offers unique potential for early, rapid detection of disease states. Identification of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) masses that contribute strongly towards a successful classification clearly highlights potential new biomarkers. A method utilising kernel density estimates is thus presented for classifying unknown samples. It is validated in… Show more

“…Abnormal concentrations of the breath VOCs are reported to correlate with unhealthy/injurious body/organ conditions; for instance, acetone gas for diabetes [2], trimethylamine for uremic patients [3] and ammonia gas for renal disease [4]. Hence, VOCs can potentially be used as disease-specific biomarkers for non-invasive early detection or monitoring from breath.…”

“…Furthermore, adaptations to the SPME sample collection system have improved VOC levels collected from breath and reduced background signals from the local environment . More recently, scientists have explored the use of more sensitive detection methods and robust bioinformatics software that included selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS), time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS), and proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS; Moorhead et al, 2008;Buszewski et al, 2007). Beyond the application of VOC analysis in biomedical biomarker research, more recently studies have shown emissions of VOCs from microbes (Crespo et al, 2008) which can act as unique signatures that can be indicative of a specific species.…”

“…Kernel density estimates can be used for classification and identification of potential diagnostic biomarkers (Moorhead et al 2008). Clinically validated sepsis scores at each patient hour are used to develop probability density profiles for each of the two data sets: Groups j and k, for each clinical predictor.…”
